PANCRASE292 took place on 10th December 2017 at FULL HOUSE of Differ Ariake.
And it was the last event for PANCRASE to use the place Differ Ariake.

Do you know Differ Ariake? It is located at bay-side of Tokyo area and its capacity is approx. 1200 person. Because of its easy access and affordable size and price many promoters are willing to use this building. (Not big Not small.) PANCRASE has been used here since 2002 and many good fights were born here.

Differ Ariake will close soon and maybe new building will be built for 2020 Tokyo Olympic.So PANCRASE decided to change the base place and new place is “STUDIO COAST” at Shin-Kiba area.
This hall can store more than Differ Ariake. So PANCRASE should be more attractive. PANCRASE already prepare for this NEW situation. One of them is the partnership with JBJJF (Japan BJJ Federation). At the first PANCRASE event at STUDIO COAST will be held 4th Feb 2017 and on this event JBJJF will have an amateur Kids BJJ competition. The another keywords are DRONE and Twitter. Of course partnership with UFC, INVICTA, Road FC are also.

Before 1 year and 3 month ago Light Weight King of PANCRASE and former UFC fighter Kazuki Tokudome took the challenge from former Road FC fighter Takasuke Kume and Tokudome lost. For Tokudome he wanted to revenge and become a champ again for return to UFC. For Kume he recognizes Tokudome is one of the strongest challengers so he said he prepared very much for this fight in the movie made for this super fight.

The fight was so violent blow fight and Kume’s left straight hit Tokudome’s chin with only 81 second at 1st round. After winning Kume cried for team mate’s support for this fight. Very impressive and emotional scene…

At Semi final Takashi Sato from TRIBE TOKYO M.M.A led by Ryo Chonan took former welter weight King of PANCRASE Akihiro Murayama from GUTSMAN. Before this fight Sato went to America for 4 weeks to train MMA and trained with Luke Rockhold and his mates.
Sato threw punches from mount position and won by TKO. After the fight Sato appealed for the title shot! Current champ is Daichi Abe who fought at last UFC Japan. It will be a super fight!
